Just when I figured now that I’m a grownup I can spell most common words, I am humbled by the Los Angeles Mission.
I’m writing out a check to the cause to sponsor a table for their annual Thanksgiving dinner for the homeless, and in the memo line of my check, I wrote:
Memo: donation to Thanksgiving capagne
______________________________Memo: donation to Thanksgiving campagne
_________________________^____Memo: donation to Thanksgiving
campagneCampaigne .
_________________________^____
How pathetic. I never knew I couldn’t spell “campaign.” My check looks retarded.
campagne means countryside in french, i think.
so I was writing a real word and I didn’t even know it.
and the whole time you were thinking about champagne 🙂 (subconsciously)?
That’s not an improbability.
i just saw akeelah and the bee. it was quite the movie.
Gosh, that’s great, Wilco. That’s really nice. Golly.
I’ve never heard of the movie. Is it a classic? Sounds like a cartoon.
